Bild: Dortmund interested in Dutch midfielder Quinten Timber, Gross is not expected to get a contract extension

According to the German media "Bild", Dortmund has inspected Feyenoord midfielder Quinten Timber many times, which also shows that Ozcan and Gross in the team are expected to leave the team next summer.

It is reported that Dortmund is interested in Quinten Timber. Previously, Sky Sports Germany had reported that the player has entered Dortmund's signing target list. The 24-year-old midfielder will become a free agent next summer and his current market value is 30 million euros.

"Bild" reported that Dortmund's scouts have inspected the Dutch player many times, the most recent time being in Feyenoord's 0-2 away loss to Stuttgart in the Europa League. It is reported that Dortmund's inspection work has almost been completed, and the club's top management has formed a clear impression of the Dutch international, but it is still uncertain whether Dortmund will actually take action.

What is certain is that Dortmund’s midfield is about to undergo many changes. The 27-year-old Ozcan is expected to leave the team next summer at the latest, and the team currently seems unlikely to renew the contract of the 34-year-old veteran Gross.

Gross has only contributed 1 assist in 17 official games this season and has not scored a goal. However, last season he provided 15 assists and scored 1 goal in 50 games. In addition, his measured speed is 30 kilometers per hour, making him one of the slowest main players in the Bundesliga.

Germany coach Nagelsmann seems to be increasingly doubtful whether the aging No. 8 player can still help the national team. If Dortmund were serious about moving forward with a move for Quinten Timber, it would also send a clear signal to Gross that his time at Dortmund may be coming to an end.

Although Feyenoord still hopes to renew Quinten Timber's contract, the player himself keeps all options open, and it is believed that he is inclined to leave the team as he hopes to take the next step in his career. One thing is certain: for Dortmund, such a free midfielder with international experience and top market value may make next summer particularly exciting.
